Hell for Đorđe Petrović at Stamford Bridge!
Imagine being one of the best goalkeepers in Europe, a hero of the Serbian national team, and your coach publicly humiliates you and sends you on loan like you’re some amateur! That’s exactly what’s happening to Đorđe Petrović, the goalkeeper who brilliantly performed for Strasbourg this season and proved he deserves a spot among the greats.
Enzo Maresca – coach or tormentor?
Italian Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s coach, not only doesn’t see Petrović as part of the team but publicly belittled him! He told him he doesn’t know how to play football and must first learn before he can guard Chelsea’s goal. Is this professionalism or pure bullying? Maresca immediately brought in another goalkeeper, Filip Jorgensen, making it clear Petrović is unwanted.
Serbian on loan, but with style
Đorđe was a true hero last season at Strasbourg, saving a penalty and rescuing Serbia in a crucial match. Monaco quickly showed interest in his transfer, offering a loan with a purchase option. But Enzo Maresca interfered again and ordered Petrović to be sold before he leaves. Chelsea demands a whopping 25 million euros, too high for Monaco, while Galatasaray seeks a replacement for their veteran Muslera.
Who’s the winner here?
Petrović is stuck in a deadlock. He doesn’t want to go to Turkey, considering the French league much better. Chelsea doesn’t want him, and Monaco can’t pay the price. Meanwhile, Maresca continues to ignore and humiliate him. Is this how talent gets destroyed or just bad club management?
What’s next?
Next week will reveal Petrović’s fate. Will he fight for his place or become a victim of bad relationships and club politics? One thing is clear – stories like this shouldn’t happen in top football.
If you think this is just another football drama, think again. How many talents have already been destroyed because of bad coaches and managers? What do you think? Has Maresca gone too far or is Petrović overrated? Drop a comment, let the people’s voice be heard!
